FIVE SOONERS INVITED TO USA SOFTBALL CAMPS

Five current and former members of the Oklahoma softball team have been invited to participate in the 2019 USA Softball Women's National Team Selection Trials, USA Softball announced Tuesday afternoon.

Former Sooners Lauren Chamberlain (2012-15), Paige Lowary (2017-18), Shelby Pendley (2013-15) and Keilaini Ricketts (2010-13) and current sophomore Jocelyn Alo are scheduled to participate in the trials, which will take place Jan. 1-6, 2019, at Eddie C. Moore Softball Complex in Clearwater, Fla.

In addition to the five Sooner student-athletes, current OU graduate assistant Delanie Gourley (Florida, 2014-17) was also invited to participate in the trials process.

Of the 42 athletes invited to the trials, nine are currently a member of an NCAA softball team. Alo, who led the nation in home runs as a freshman and was named an NFCA First-Team All-American in 2018, is the only underclassman in that group.

Overall, the five invitations given to the Sooners ranked second-most among all collegiate programs, with Florida leading the way with seven and Oregon also receiving five.

Participating athletes will vie for 18 spots on the 2019 USA Softball WNT Training Team roster that will compete at the USA Softball International Cup and select international events. The roster will then be trimmed to 15 athletes to participate in the Pan American Games, slated for July 31-August 11 in Lima, Peru. National Team Selection Camps are open to the public, and more information can be found on TeamUSA.org.

SOONERS ANNOUNCE 8 GAME FALL SLATE

The Oklahoma softball team unveiled Tuesday its eight-game fall exhibition schedule, which features five games to be played at Marita Hynes Field.

The fall slate begins Sept. 28-29 with the annual Fall Festival Tournament. Oklahoma opens play on Friday, Sept. 28, against Butler Community College at 4:45 p.m. before facing Trinity Valley Community College at 7 p.m. OU then plays twice Saturday with games at 4:45 p.m. against Seminole State and 7 p.m. against Northern Oklahoma.

Two weeks later, OU will head south to face North Texas in Denton, Texas. The Sooners and the Mean Green will face off at 6 p.m. on Oct. 11. Although the two teams were scheduled to meet in the 2018 regular season, the contest was canceled due to inclement weather.

The Sooners return home the following week as they host North Central Texas College on Oct. 17 at 5 p.m.

The fall schedule concludes on Oct. 28 when Oklahoma travels to Fayetteville, Ark., to take on Arkansas in a doubleheader at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The Sooners and the Razorbacks met in the 2018 NCAA Norman Super Regional with OU claiming a pair of wins, 7-2 and 9-0.

Tickets for all five games at Marita Hynes will be available for purchase at the gate on game days. General admission seats cost $7 while youth (3-18) and senior citizen (55+) tickets cost $5. Children ages 3 and under and OU students with ID are free.

OU Athletics introduced a clear bag policy and walk-through metal detectors at all home events this year, including fall softball games. More information can be found here.

The Sooners finished the 2018 season with a nation-leading 57-5 record, making their 12th appearance at the Women’s College World Series. Oklahoma is the seven-time defending Big 12 champion, a run never before seen in the conference, after sweeping the regular season and tournament titles.
